I assume you mean the POS pieces of plastic for the front seatbelts - the ones that crack and disintegrate? I got mine at the dealer - you just need to look up the part number on realoem.com (or have the dealer do it). If memory serves . . . they are about $22 each.

I bought them last year, and the driver's side disintegrated again less than a year later, so my advice is to be careful to not over tighten the screw that secures it in place. This time I'm going to fiberglass the back side so it won't disintegrate a third time. And I plan to take pix & post a thread if I ever get around to replacing them.

They are a pain to replace - much more than they should be for a simple piece of trim. There are some threads out there on replacing them . . . use the search.

I'm going to the dealer on Wednesday, but before I go, I have looked and looked to see what this part is even called. On the M3 convertible's the space where the seat belt comes out of on the body has a covering over it that seems to snap in. My car is missing this on both sides and just has these big holes the belt comes out of. Can any one help me out?
